Everyone needs calories and protein to fuel the everyday functions of the body. Calories provide energy and EVERY cell in your body requires energy. Protein is used to build, maintain and repair damaged body tissues. It is important to make sure you as a wound care patient are eating a balanced diet to prevent any vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies. Some vitamins more than others are critical in wound healing, they are essential to help build and maintain new tissues. When an individual has a draining wound and/or an infection they will need extra protein, calories and nutrients, due to the possibility that a draining wound can lose upto 100 grams of protein a day.

Below are some helpful tips on ways to increase calories, protein, vitamins and minerals in your diet to meet your increased needs.

  • Do not skip meals. Even if you do not feel like you are hungry, eat a small nutritious snack. Eat a well balanced diet and include a protein supplement of your choosing.
  • We prescribe a daily multivitamin to all of our patients, we recommend you talk to your primary care physician before starting any supplements.
